Liverpool FC fans are used to seeing Xabi Alonso score from a long, long way out.

The classy Spaniard scored twice from the halfway line for the Reds, and the 34-year-old has proven he's still got it with a wondergoal for Bayern Munich.

The half-volley was enough to send Pep Guardiola's side to the quarter-finals of the German Cup with a 1-0 victory over Darmstadt 98 on Tuesday evening.

Alonso made 210 appearances for Liverpool in a four-year spell with the club, scoring 19 goals. He helped the Reds to a European Cup, FA Cup and a finally second-placed finish before leaving for Real Madrid in a £30m deal in 2009.

The Spaniard moved to Germany in 2014, where he has made 61 appearances and scored five goals.

The Bavarians, top of the Bundesliga and through to the knockout stage of the Champions League, but Alonso could leave the club in the summer, with his current deal set to expire at the end of the season.
